## Resource

This week, Mike and Tyler head back to the darker corners of the Bajoran wormhole for a dive into Deep Space Nine Season 2, Episodes 22–24. From Garak’s mysterious brain implant in “The Wire,” to a hostile trip into the mirror universe in “Crossover,” and finally the political intrigue surrounding the election of a new Kai in “The Collaborator,” the station is not short on drama. The guys unpack conspiracies, alternate realities, and just how many secrets one tailor can reasonably keep.
